1 out of 5 stars Beware.......2003-11-01

Amazon has this CD mixed up with another CD, by another band called Buck. Who also called their CD...Buck (as in, self-titled). I ordered this CD and did not get anything involving the wonderful Lisa Marr. Instead, I got a CD of turgid Christian Ska music. I'm not joking. Amazon needs to fix this.

5 out of 5 stars Buck rule[d] -- but the samples on here are not Buck.......2003-10-22

Buck, the Lisa Marr-led band, was great and this album is a big favorite of mine -- especially "Cesare Said" and "The Day I Died". I agree with most of the reviewers about the astonishing greatness of Lisa Marr, who I am sure will one day get the recognition she merits.

But Amazon has made a mistake here, putting up a bunch of samples from some other record. They should fix that.

5 out of 5 stars I <3 Lisa.......2003-09-25

I first saw Buck when they opened for Dance Hall Crashers, back in '99 I believe.I loved them at first site.This album is perfect; there is no one like Lisa Marr.The lyrics are witty, and the music tight.Unfortunately, Buck broke up.Lisa went on to form the Lisa Marr Experiment, an alt-country group."4AM", LMX's debut album is charming in its own way, but it doesn't have the bite that this Buck album did. I was happy to learn that Lisa teamed up with Kim Shattuck of the Muffs to form the Beards.Their debut album was released in '01, and it really rocks!! If you love Buck, you'll love the Beards(their album is, in my opinion, better than any of Lisa or Kim's other bands)...also,go out and buy the new LMX, Lisa Marr is an extremely talented musician, who deserves recognition and support.

5 out of 5 stars At least one person in the world is a big stinker..........2001-08-09

As I write this review, I see that there's a used copy of Buck for sale. That's just wrong. I would sooner part with my awkward, geeky little body than this superlative CD. All exaggeration aside, Pepper and the Lisas have managed to make an album that is at once fun and ferocious, with infectious melodies and deliciously dark lyrics. Don't waste money on charitable donations or insulin for your mother. Buy this CD. But don't buy it used. We don't want to reward that one person who is giving up the perfect album, do we?

5 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful..........2001-03-13

I'm really slapping myself in the head for not paying attention to Lisa Marr's post-Cub band until it was too late to see them live...This record is absolutely amazing! If you go to the House Of Blues website and watch the archived Buck concert, you'll see just how incredibly "tight" and infectious they were live. In fact, if theres anything thats flawed about his record, its that it suffers from the same anemic production values that marred (pun intended) most of Cub's recorded history (most notably the absolutely terrible drum sounds). They also play the songs slower on this studio recording, which can be sort of anti-climactic after hearing their raucous live stuff.

But the songs themselves are punk-rock masterpieces. "Cuddle-core" this is not. In fact, I find Lisa's liberal usage of the naughty F-word on this record to be especially appealing, and downright erotic (especially on "American Express"). And "My Fascination" is DAMN intoxicating. Lisa has a truly unique and melodic voice which really sets her apart from ALL the boring "riot-grrrl" bands which she has often been (mistakenly) associated with.
